  • a background and a 3D view object are taken as random dot images in order to prevent the 3D view object from being recognized when the image displayed on the 3D display device 2 is viewed only with one eye.
  • Dots composing the random dot images which are the background and the 3D view object are moved in order to prevent the movement of the 3D view object from being recognized even when the 3D view object cannot be viewed in three dimensions in a case where the 3D view object is moved.
  • This principle will be understood from such an example that when a mole moves in the ground of a sandbox, a moving path of the mole is found because the surface of the sandbox waves along the moving path, while the moving path is not found even if the mole moves under the ground of the sandbox if the entire sandbox waves.
  • the 3D display device of a parallax barrier type is used as a 3D display device
  • a 3D display device using no glasses such as a 3D display device of a lenticular type may be used.
  • a 3D display device using both polarizing glasses and liquid crystal shutter glasses may be used.
